This is an epic production by the Emmy and BAFTA winning film-maker and journalist John Pilger. Drawing on his long association with the first people of his homeland, Australia, this film is both an epic portrayal of the oldest continuous human culture and an investigation into a suppressed colonial past and rapacious present. One of the world's best kept secrets is revealed against a background of the greatest boom in mineral wealth. Has the 'lucky country' inherited South African apartheid?This is both a personal journey and a universal story of power and resistance in the media age driven by old imperatives and presented as liberalism.
